20 "LIFE ; giving enough to breathe on"

Elle's POV

"Your parents found out that you ran away," Daniel said . "Great! One more problem" I sarcastically replied . "Actually , your parents came to visit my house without any notice . I tried to hide that you are on shopping but after a week they came again . I am sorry I couldn't hide it anymore . I told them the exact words you told me that you ran away". "It's totally fine with me . I don't care about them anymore because I am not their property anymore" I replied with lost feelings but with confidence . "There is one more teeny-tiny problem" Nora said . "What is it now?". "On the second visit of your parents they assured Daniel that they will find you no matter what" . "Daniel oppa I am not in a state of protecting myself anymore I am so tired of the things happening to me . Please help me on this" I plead to Daniel . "Elle I will figure out something . I heard that girl's father . What was her name?" Daniel said . After a pause I realized that he was talking about Sun- Yon . "Sun Yon?" I asked. "Yes , yes Sun Yon . I heard his father tried to persuade you" Daniel asked. "Yes he did. But how did you know?" . "He called my secretary and told him that you are not agreeing on bail . He asked for me to help him". "Well , I want her to complete her punishment . The way she tortured me , I want her to get tortured too" I told him . "Elle you have changed . You are not a weak girl anymore . You have finally learnt to fight for yourself" he complimented me. "Of course girls should know their value in this society . They should know how to take a stand for bad . Just like me" Nora added her words with a beautiful smile. Nora is beautiful and has a good normal height. I actually kinda like her. She is free spirited and for sure she loves to be touchy . Both of them are sitting on the couch and Nora is fully hanging on Daniel oppa like he is hers only blanket or heater . Cute! I am smiling on my own thoughts . " Is something on my face?" Nora asked . " Nothing ,just both of you look cute together" . " Thank you Elle . You are so sweet and especially a great cook". I giggled and thanked her . " But what happened to your hand?". " Just , a little cut. I am fine" .

"Have you heard of Kyung Seok?" Daniel oppa asked . That name , it gives me shivers and a glimpse of that horrible night . I started to tremble , my hands got sweaty and my eyes lost their direction . "Elle what happened? Are you alright?" Nora asked . I heard her voice but I couldn't give her a reply , my words didn't support me either . I felt some hands on my shoulders . I shrieked and pushed those hands away . I ran towards my room and my vision got black .

I slowly opened my eyes , with a headache . I saw Nora sitting beside me holding my hand . "Are you good?" she asked . "What happened?" I asked her. "You fainted . Daniel called the doctor when you were unconscious. Doctor said that you are under the stress of a trauma" she told me . My hand was still holding my dizzy head .

"You are awake" Daniel came in . " How are you feeling now?" he asked . " I don't know . Dizzy I guess". "Elle we need to talk . Tell me what happened to you? . Those marks on your neck and arms . What are those? Even the doctor asked me a strange question". " What do you want to hear? That your shit head friend tried to rape me" I shouted with tears in my eyes and everyone became silent .

"No way , he tried his dirty thinking on you this time. I am going to kill that bastard . How dare he? How dare he try to touch you . He touched my sister. I am gonna kill him now" Daniel said with rage and anger . Nora got scared and held his arm to calm him down .

"Why didn't you tell us before dear?" Nora questioned me while hugging me and caressing my head . I didn't reply because my head was also betraying my words this time . " Don't you worry now . You have got a brother behind your back and now count me in too . I will be your big sister , best friend and yeah mother too" when these came out of her mouth I hugged her back more tightly and cried .

'I don't know where my life is taking me to . It is taking away much more from me but at the same time giving me enough to breathe on.'

Nora made coffee for everyone . Mood was lightened up . Nora suggested watching a comedy movie . So, we sat in the living room and started to watch the movie . "Elle I came here for two reasons . One was your parents , second I came to bail Kyung Seok out . I know this is not the right time but I need to tell you this . Kyung Seok and I are friends from childhood . He was born poor and after middle school he had to give up on his studies . So, eventually he ended up with no money . I supported him back then and until now I fulfil every requirement . He helps me too in many matters . But , this poor life led him to hunger of lust . He became mentally unstable . He raped many girls in the past . I tried to stop him but he never listened . So , I was forced to help him because he is my friend . But I think so , now I have to put a full stop on him" Daniel oppa told everything to me . " Fair enough oppa (older brother) . I want him to reflect on himself and get a proper treatment for what he has done" ." I promise you kiddo , I will treat him well" .

" Wow! Happy ending" Nora shouted and my eyes went on her . She smiled with her hands in the air and her eyes on the screen . " You finished the whole story in fifteen minutes," I asked her . "Baby , there is an option named forward," she said .
